Secrets of the Rock and Roll Business
"There aren't any secrets," Atlantic Records president Jerry Wexler growled at me, as if I were the stupidest person he had ever met. I was nineteen and it was the winter of 1969, more than thirty - five years before Wexler would be immortalized by Richard Schiff's portrayal of him in the movie Ray. I was writing a column for the weekly trade magazine Record World when Wexler had asked one of his executives, Danny Fields, to gather a group of young journalists who wrote about rock and roll. The real Wexler was far more imposing than the cinematic version. He was broad - shouldered, with a salt - and - pepper beard and sunken eyes that gave him the look of an Old Testament prophet. He had a thick Bronx accent, an intimidating intellect, and the ultimate rock and roll and R&B pedigrees.
Some months earlier, at the storied Greenwich Village nightclub the Village Gate, I had seen a talented R&B singer named Judy Clay dedicate her hit, "Storybook Children," to Wexler, who stood up and waved with an understated noblesse oblige.
I had no idea what a record company president did, but I was stunned that such a soulful singer would publicly acknowledge a mere businessman. I soon discovered that Wexler had also worked with Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, and Sam and Dave, and had been the person at Atlantic who actually signed Led Zeppelin.
My awe at Wexler's résumé was reinforced by seeing his house in Great Neck, Long Island, which had an entire room filled with gold records and a living room with original Légers. Amid thick marijuana smoke, Wexler played records on his state - of - the - art stereo, alternating an acetate of a forthcoming Delaney and Bonnie album with the Beatles' Abbey Road. It was a relief to know that even an insider like Wexler was a Beatles fan. "Those guys sure know what they're doing," he sighed, listening to the end of "Carry That Weight." During a moment between songs, in a lame attempt to enter the conversation, I asked Wexler if he was going to an upcoming conference on the music business. "I never go to those things," he snarled. "The premise is that you can go there and learn secrets. First of all, there aren't any secrets." He paused dramatically and then, with a wolfish grin, concluded, "And second of all, if there were any secrets, we wouldn't tell them."
Over the next several decades I would come to understand what he meant. Although I never came close to equaling Wexler's historical contribution to the music business, I was lucky enough to find myself in many situations that would make rock history. I had a press pass to the Woodstock Festival. I worked for Led Zeppelin from 1973 to 1976, first as their publicist and later as vice president of their record company. I managed Nirvana when Nevermind came out and Bonnie Raitt when she won four Grammys. I did PR for Kiss and Electric Light Orchestra. I worked closely with Bruce Springsteen on the No Nukes movie. At the peak of Fleetwood Mac's popularity I helped launch Stevie Nicks's solo career. And twenty - four years after meeting Wexler I was given his old job as president of Atlantic Records. What few secrets there were could not be of any help to anyone else. But there were stories.
I can't be objective about the music business. I know it hurt a lot of people; artists were often lied to, royalties weren't always paid, bad people sometimes got promoted while good ones were fired. Drugs, misogyny, and death stalked rock and roll. A lot of shlock was produced. A lot of pretense masked shallow, materialistic quests for fame and money. It's not like I don't know these things and it's not that I mind writing about them. It's just that the part of the music business I know best, the rock and roll business, also produced and popularized a lot of music that I love. And it gave me and a lot of my friends a place in the world.
One nonsecret of the rock business is the intertwined nature of art and money. No one became a rock star by accident or against their will. Bob Dylan's memoir, Chronicles, begins not with a reference to Woody Guthrie or Allen Ginsberg, but with a meeting Dylan had as a young man with music publisher Lou Levy. Levy showed him the studio on the west side of Manhattan where Bill Haley and His Comets had recorded "Rock Around the Clock," which is widely considered the song that made rock and roll music a part of mainstream American culture.
Dylan did inject a folk music aesthetic into the commercial rock culture that existed. Steve Earle, who grew up in Texas in the 1960s, saw folk music as the vehicle that "brought art into rock and roll." The great beatnik poet Allen Ginsberg saw Dylan's song "A Hard Rain's A - Gonna Fall" as "the passing of the torch of Bohemian illumination and self - empowerment." The ideals and aesthetics that informed folk music of the early and mid - 1960s would continue to be present in varying degrees in the minds of many successful rock artists for decades to come.
But one of the main points of Dylan going electric was not merely that he was adapting a more complex musical backdrop for his songs but that he was consciously entering a world and a business defined, at the time, by the Beatles. One of the salient points about Dylan's rock single "Like a Rolling Stone" was that it went to number one on the pop charts. If it hadn't been a hit, it wouldn't have mattered anywhere near as much. Members of Jefferson Airplane, the Grateful Dead, the Lovin' Spoonful, and the Byrds all started as folkies. Far from selling out, they were buying into a rock and roll culture and business that, from the very beginning, had been as much or more about money and success as about the nuances of the art. The trade - off was that rock and roll, corrupted as it had to be to win in the marketplace, was a vehicle that could impact millions more people and, yes, make artists lots of money The contradictions between art and commerce were not something that took folk artists by surprise, but were implicit in their decision to enter the world of rock and roll in the first place.
As the rock and roll business developed, most rock stars amassed unprecedented power in relation to the corporations that profited from their work. In addition to exploiting rebellious creative talent, the business itself was repeatedly transformed by that talent.
I was one of millions of rock fans who went to high school in the 1960s and one of a thousand or so who figured out a way into the business of rock and roll in the years that followed. I had all of the contradictions of rock and roll. Like most of my colleagues, I soon got caught up in the sometimes grim reality of what did and what did not make money. And like most of them I never stopped being a fan.
In 2007, at a memorial service for Ahmet Ertegun, the founder of Atlantic Records and Wexler's former partner and my former boss, David Geffen repeated one of Ahmet's aphorisms about the rock business. The way to get rich was to keep walking around until you bumped into a genius, and when you did — hold on and don't let go. In the early nineties, when I finally got an executive job at Atlantic, the story had been repeated so many times that it had become an axiom. Of course, no genius was likely to let you hold on very long if you didn't have anything to offer them. One had to know something valuable about aspects of the way the business worked. Some successful rock businessmen started as record producers. Some began as tour managers or concert promoters. Many offered financial expertise. I began in the subculture of rock criticism and publicity but, over the years, developed a reasonable number of clues about radio promotion, the workings of record companies, and the dynamics of touring as well. Like anyone in business I spent a fair amount of time arguing about and keeping track of money, but I was always of the school that was a little more interested in making the pie bigger than in calculating the distribution of the crumbs.
I was in tenth and eleventh grade in 1965 when the rock and roll business was in the middle of a dramatic expansion and reinvention that began with the launch of the Beatles in 1964. Although the Beatles had initially come across like a turbocharged version of the pop pinup idols that had preceded them, they soon spawned an intensification of focus on rock and roll by both artists and fans. In March 1965 Dylan released the first of his albums to include electric guitars, Bringing It All Back Home, a coherent and brilliant body of original songs such as "Mr. Tambourine Man" and "Gates of Eden." It made a dramatic contrast to the disposable pop/rock albums that had one or two hits and lots of fi ller. (Even the Beatles' early albums had contained a number of "cover" versions of old songs to pad out the Beatles' original material.) In July 1965, the Rolling Stones released Out of Our Heads, much of it edgy and rebellious for the time (this was the album that had "Satisfaction," and the first ironic commentary on the record business itself, "The Under Assistant West Coast Promotion Man"). Responding to the challenge in December 1965, the Beatles released Rubber Soul, which was widely considered their first serious album. These albums and others created and defined a new business. Previously, the primary rock and roll product was the single, which sold for around a dollar. After 1965, the dominant creative and business product of rock and roll was the album, which sold for five to ten times as much. To the new generation of rock fans like me, these albums were worth every penny. Every photo, every word of the liner notes, and every single song was another window into the minds of artists who were perceived by their fans as the coolest and most interesting people in the world.
Because the rock music of the late sixties was so radically different from the pop versions that came before it, most of the A&R executives at record companies who had controlled the production of commercial records were marginalized and a young generation of rock producers, songwriters, guitar players, singers, and the young friends who became their business associates grew rapidly in wealth and clout. The corporations were making so much money from selling albums by the likes of the Doors and Cream that they were more than happy to keep their hands off of the creative process. Although in future years the record companies and radio stations would start to assert more pressure for orthodoxy, the new template had been established. Rock and roll was a business in which the creative elements were mostly controlled by rock and roll auteurs who demanded and increasingly received a much bigger share of the economic pie, and who had much more control over their work than previous generations of performers. Dylan could have been speaking for many artists when he described the leverage he found once he had success. "I had gotten in the door when no one was looking. I was in there now and there was nothing anyone could, from then on, do about it."
Among the biggest and most talented rock stars I would meet when I got into the business, even those with the fiercest sense of integrity balanced their artistry with streaks of pragmatism. In 1980, I worked with Bruce Springsteen in the context of making No Nukes, a political concert documentary that featured several live Springsteen performances. While waiting for the editors to cue up an edit one night, Bruce mused about how elusive a Top 40 hit single had been for him. (Born to Run was a press phenomenon, and the title song had been a huge album cut on rock radio stations, but Top 40 barely touched it.) I was amazed to hear that Bruce had recently met with Kal Rudman, who ran a radio tip sheet called the Friday Morning Quarterback, filled with radio and promo hype. Rudman talked fast with glib high - pressure shtick. Although, like Springsteen, Rudman was based in New Jersey, he was the personification of the old-school pop business hype that was the ultimate contrast to Springsteen's intense, poetic, unpretentious rock and roll persona. (In Rudman's tip sheet, a hit song was called a GO - rilla.) "Kal explained to me," said Springsteen in his urgent, hoarse drawl, "that Top 40 radio is mainly listened to by girls and that my female demographic was low. And I thought about the songs on Darkness and I realized that the lyrics really were mostly for and about guys," he concluded, shaking his head ruefully. "So on this new album I'm working on — there are some songs for girls."
Just to hear the Boss utter the word demographic was a shock to my system, but then again why wouldn't he want to appeal to as many people as possible? The River album was released several months later, and, in addition to its many poetic gems and macho celebrations that protected Springsteen's identity, the album included the single "Hungry Heart," which featured a sped - up vocal, a romantic lyric, and retro harmonies by the sixties pop duo the Turtles, with the result that Springsteen did, as planned, finally have his first Top 40 hit.
Of course, the fantasy of rock and roll liberation was often dashed by the reality of the business. More than one rock star I knew found the classic parody of a rock documentary This Is Spinal Tap depressing because of its painful similarities to real life. Drug and alcohol abuse were far too common. The tragic arc of Elvis Presley's career was a metaphor for the dark side of rock and roll: materialistic, druggy, and predictable. Kurt Cobain, the greatest rock artist I would ever work with, shot himself to death. He was only one of dozens of brilliant rockers who died decades before their time.
The idea of this book is to give some impressionistic views, through my eyes and through the examples of a handful of artists, of the rock and roll business from 1969 through 2004. It is by no means an attempt at a comprehensive overview. For one thing, when I made my first tentative steps onto the stage of the rock business in 1968 I had been too young to really experience the seminal rock and roll in the fifties of Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, et al. I had been a mere fan during the early - sixties British invasion of the Beatles and Rolling Stones and during the initial years of psychedelic rock.
There were many vital aspects of the business (engineering the sound of albums and selling them at record stores are two that come to mind) that I was to know little or nothing about. Although I tried to live by and impart commonsense principles of business such as the difference between hype and income, between the gross and the net, and about the need to spend less than one makes, my focus was primarily on working with artists to protect their art, market it, and get them paid as much as possible. I am neither an accountant nor a lawyer and have little of interest to share about the way artists spent their money or were screwed out of it after they made it.
Moreover, my perspective is very American. Although I worked closely with several British artists and represented several who toured and triumphed all over the world, the bulk of my experience was in the United States.
Large gaps in my memories are interspersed with vivid scenes that exist in my memory as if on videotape. I have written those scenes with quotations from people as I recall them but the truth is that other than a few interviews I conducted in writing this book, there were neither tapes nor notes. The conversations recounted merely represent my personal recollection of them.
No one artist or group of artists can contain the sprawling and complex totality of rock and roll, but I believe that the artists I write about here, Led Zeppelin, Kiss, Stevie Nicks, Bonnie Raitt, Sonic Youth, Nirvana, Hole, Warren Zevon, and Steve Earle, among others, represent a broad and powerful portion of the psychic real estate of the rock and roll kingdom. I am not objective about any of them. I love them all."A behemoth in the rock 'n' roll industry."
-Vanity Fair
"Goldberg tells of his adventures in the music business with insight, humor and compassion."
-The Seattle Times
"An insightful behind-the-scenes view of the music industry from 1969 through 2004...Reading Bumping Into Geniuses is like having a laminated backstage pass to the music business, intertwined with a juicy slice of countercultural history."
-Paul Krassner, Los Angeles Times
"There's no doubt [Goldberg] loves the music business - lives, eats and breathes it. His new book Bumping Into Geniuses is one of the best on the subject."
-San Antonio Express-News
"Danny Goldberg chronicles the phases of his career - rock journalist, record- company president, manager to musicians ranging from Kurt Cobain to Warren Zevon - with the sort of candor few record-biz execs would attempt....Admirably blunt, but also spiked with tart humor."
-Entertainment Weekly
"[A] surprisingly excellent book, an engaging, droll and - incandescent artistes to the contrary - largely demystifying look at the evolution of the rock trade from Woodstock to grunge...There is an elegiac quality to Bumping Into Geniuses." -The New York Times Book Review
"Bumping Into Geniuses is such an important text for 2008...Goldberg's book presents a time when popular music really mattered, when the authentic fed the commercial and the commercial widened the scope of the authentic."
-Milwaukee Express News
"Goldberg summons up some fascinating anecdotes as he writes about these performers with much honesty and compassion, bringing it all back home."
-Publishers Weekly
"A good taste of life in the music biz...It's not only the tales themselves that make Bumping Into Geniuses a great read; it's how Goldberg tells the stories. You really get the feeling that he loved every moment. He appears to have learned as much from his minor setbacks as he did from his major successes."
-The Jewish Journal
"For readers wanting a look behind the curtain, Goldberg offers valuable personal experience that only the music industry's elite are equipped to share."
-The Hartford Courant
"For anyone interested in the rock and roll industry, or simply the mores and temperaments of the musicians themselves, Bumping into Geniuses is an incredible insider's tale."
-Vintage Guitar
"Goldberg is an industry icon... In Bumping Into Geniuses, [he] explains how the essence of music changed from being about the artistry to being about the business, but he also shares -- to the best of his recollections -- insider stories about Jimmy Page's drug haze, the irritation of the Eagles' management when the band received bad reviews and how Stevie Nicks came up with the name for her hit "Edge of Seventeen." ...Goldberg's affection for music, as a fan, is also always palpable."
-Richmond Times Dispatch
"Early in Bumping into Geniuses, a young Danny Goldberg disqualifies himself as a music journalist on the grounds that he loves rock n roll far too much to be anything like objective. That was probably true then and it's probably true now...but that doesn't mean that he can't write. This book renews my faith in the music, confirms my suspicion of the business, and answers a lot questions that I've always meant to ask Danny myself."
-Steve Earle
"Since I first met Danny Goldberg in 1970, he has had an honest relationship with the music business. He believes in the transcendent beauty and power of rock and roll and at the same time has a unique perspective on the business which has presented and preserved it. Danny writes about rock and roll with his characteristic mix of intelligence, reverence and humor."
-Patti Smith
"In chronicling his remarkable rise from rock writer to record-company chief, working with acts ranging from Led Zeppelin to Nirvana, Danny Goldberg demonstrates that there's more to the music business than just business."
-Kurt Loder, MTV

The centerpiece of the room is the 61-inch Runco PL-61cx plasma HDTV framed behind a VisionArt custom art canvas. A press of a button on the Crestron touchscreen controller sets in motion a series of TV acrobatics when it's time for the video displays to go into hiding: The VisionArt art print scrolls down to cover the 61-inch plasma TV, and motorized lifts holding the two Runco 43-inch TVs sink the sets into cavities behind the cabinet doors.

If you have never played through the original Metro 2033, I feel sorry for you. I really do. The game, which launched for the Xbox 360 and PC back in early 2010, really shocked a lot of people. It wasn't the best looking, or even the best playing game or shooter available, but the atmosphere and narrative presented in its world set a standard for the industry. A standard, might I add, that few games will ever live up to, let alone exceed. It was one of my picks for
game of the year
that year, a decision I still stand by to this day (either that or
War for Cybertron
For the sake of those who aren't familiar, let me catch you up. Metro 2033 is based on the Russian sci-fi novel of the same name by Dmitry Glukhovsky. After nuclear war practically destroyed the world as we knew it, the survivors in Russia were driven below ground to the confines of the defunct metro-subway system. The different stations along the transit system eventually became their own communities and "cities", forming their own governments and societal structures.You're Artyum, a young man raised in the confines of this post apocalyptic-Moscow metro system. The game presented itself as an FPS, but it didn't exactly play as one. Rather than being an adventure about gunplay it was an incredibly deep narrative told from a perspective behind the barrel of a gun. It was, and is, truly a remarkable experience that I can't speak highly enough about to this day.
With all of the dust finally settling from the fall of THQ, Metro: Last Light is finally coming to consoles after some delays. Ukranian developer 4A Games is once again at the helm of the project with Techland / Deep Silver picking up the publishing duties. Over the last weekend, I got a chance to spend a few hours with an unfinished build of the game that covers the opening chapters of the game. What I found was more of the same of what resonated with me so much back in 2010 and a newfound excitement for a project I feared wouldn't recover from the collapse of its publisher.
Living with your choices and confronting your past
The game will pick up a little bit more than a year after the events of the first game. If you played the original, you know that there were a couple of possibilities for the ending depending on how things played out and decisions that you made once you climbed atop the spire. Despite the telepathic cries that Artyum heard during the final moments of the game, which revealed their dreams of a peaceful co-existance, the game progresses as if you decided to launch the missile strike against the Dark Ones.This wiped out their entire population. Or, at least you thought that it did.
Once again you're Artyum. The people around you look upon you as something of a hero, especially amongst the rangers within your area of the metro, but you are personally struggling with the decision that you made to wipe out the Dark Ones. Everyone thinks that the Dark Ones meant nothing but harm, but you know the truth and it haunts you in your dreams. You will soon see a glimmer of light however as reports come in that a young Dark One was spotted roaming around the infamous Botanical Gardens that should have been the mass grave of their kind. It isn't very long before the game opens that you find your self face to face with the very beings you tried to eliminate a year earlier. You will also discover that your connection to their kind is as close as ever, which will get you in a bit of trouble as usual. I won't get too much into the details of the story; not just for fear of spoiling things but because the story is SO much of the Metro experience. Like I said earlier, it's best to look at this as more than a game, but rather an interactive, narrative experience.
More of a good thing
One thing that I noticed from the start of the game is that 4A obviously knows what worked in the first game as they are continuing to allow the narrative drive the Metro: Last Light experience. The game looks noticeable better than the original; the character models are a bit more detailed and their animations are much tighter. The same can be said for the environment, which all plays into the game's charm. This is a world that you can easily get lost in, and the developer knows and accepts this fact. It is very easy to get sidetracked by just looking around, reading notes and diaries that you find and listening in on conversations of other characters in the world.
This level of immersion is only enhanced by the manner in which the game is presented. The game once again uses a HUD-less interface. If you want to read something or check the ammo count on your weapons, you have to physically look at those objects. Granted, there are pop-up overlays for your inventory management and selection some times, but it is very minimal something that you have to do in real-time with the world around you. Don't decide to search your pack for a certain type of ammo when you are under fire, because the action doesn't stop so that you can fiddle around. One really nice detail occurs when you had your gas mask on to explore the surface areas; dirt and debris constantly built up on the mask and had to be wiped clean occasionally, in addition to changing the air filters. This sounds like a nice little detail, but it becomes important when you are in a fire fight or on the run and can't see where you are going. It is truly an unparalleled level of immersion.
Another thing that I really appreciated in the original game is the attention to detail with the weapons. This is a world that has been devastated and forced to practically start over. You aren't going to find state of the art weaponry and tools to use. I am referring mainly to the reliability and accuracy of these weapons. These are things that have been crafted by the new society; they are prone to breaking and misfires and are best described as less-than-accurate most of the time. This means that you have to do the best with what you have and what you can find.
You're a survivor, so survive...
Being a world that has been rocked to its core, supplies aren't exactly in abundance. What you will get you will have to scavenge and find on your own. Ammunition in particular is a rare commodity that you will have to manage with great care. There are different types of ammo once again: those meant for shooting and military grade that is best used as currency. The basic ammo, much like the weaponry, is not as reliable and useful as you would hope. They aren't nearly as damaging to your enemies as you would hope when in a fight for your life. Military ammo on the other hand is deadly, but it is also very valuable. The question that you will constantly be faced with is whether or not that ammunition means more to you as a defense mechanism or as currency.
Neither one comes easy or cheap. What you will get you will need to loot from fallen enemies and pick up in the various tunnels and alleys of the metro. The same thing can be said for your other tools like gas mask filters and support weapons (throwing knives). Don't expect to find a nice ammo crate or supply dump that will fill up your inventory and set you on cruise control for a while. Instead, you will spend some of your battles crawling around, ducking under cover while you search for a bullet or tool to use.
Trust me: look past the barrel of the gun
It is really hard to talk about Metro: Last Light without spoiling things. That is because the game is so story-driven. More than being story-driven, it is designed in a way that gives you access to a deep and engaging story, but doesn't force you to embrace it. This is more than an adventure from point A to B; you can run through things and complete your tasks and missions at a break neck speed, but doing so will cause you to miss out on everything that makes this experience fantastic. Take you time here. Embrace and explore the world around you. It's okay, the developers actually want you to do so and you won't be sorry.
If you do that, if you take the time to see and listen to this world, you will undoubtedly fall in love like I did back in 2010. 4A is making quite a name for their selves with this franchise and they are proving that good narrative and structure can trump gameplay if need be. In this case it does, even though it doesn't need to as the game plays fine too. Fans of the series are in for a treat when Metro: Last Light launches next week on the PC, 360 and PS3.

Unfortunately for the Blue and Gold, a couple of unexpected losses early in the season, left it sitting on the outside of the eight-team playoff field.
Second-year head coach Ray Charles singles out a 9-8 loss to McQueen, in which the Raiders gave up eight runs in the sixth to blow a 7-1 lead, and a 13-3 loss to a non-playoff team in Wooster as games that contributed to the disappointing season.
Reed started the league season 2-11, but ended up 7-13 and still had a late shot to reach the postseason. The bottom three qualifiers for the playoffs, McQueen, Douglas and Damonte Ranch, all finished a game ahead of the Raiders at 8-12.
On three different occasions last year, Reed beat a team to open a league series only to lose to that same team by at least 10 runs in the second and final game of the series. That inconsistency will need to be avoided this season.
The Raiders' focus this year will be getting off to a good start and beating the teams it is supposed to beat.
"We haven't really talked about last year. We just talked about how we did end the year pretty strong, but that was last year," Charles said. "We just know a couple of those games early in the year cost us. We know we can't give away games that we have the opportunity to win."
Despite missing out on the playoffs, Reed did have some shining moments at the end of last spring after upsetting Spanish Springs (Northern 4A champion) and Reno (No. 1 seed) in the final weeks of the regular season.
The Raiders also return many players from last year's junior-dominated squad.
"I'm excited about the kids returning," Charles said. "We're an older team. I think all those factors will help us get better."
Leading the way is first team all-region outfielder and four-year starter Ryan Butler. He sparked the Raiders' offense from his leadoff spot as the top hitter in average, hits, runs, walks, doubles and triples. He's a little banged up, but likely will return to his leadoff spot soon.
"He hits line drives and keeps it on the ground. With his speed, teams have to do a lot of things right in order to get him out," Charles said. "On the bases, he's a threat, too. He gets a single, he probably turns that into a double. He's definitely a nice threat to have."
Reed also returns arguably its two most effective pitchers from a year ago, senior Jake Means and junior Mark Nowaczewski. Means wasn't part of last year's starting rotation, but he was a stud in long relief. Means capped his solid season by holding Reno hitless over the final four innings and scoreless in his five-plus innings of relief during Reed's 4-3 extra-inning upset victory over the Huskies.
Also expected to eat up innings are seniors Spencer Jones and A.J. Silva as well as newcomer Chris Flores.
"We have four solid starters and then everyone else will chip in," Charles said. "I'm really excited about our staff. I haven't really decided on a rotation. There's one guy we haven't decided on whether he's going to be a starter or come in and shut the door…We only have three games a week, so I will have to adjust it to what works best for us. They're all willing to do whatever role I ask them to do, so that's nice."
Charles believes having a full year under his belt with these players will certainly help now that everyone is on the same page. He likes the leadership he sees and hopes pitching ends up being a strength and helps the Raiders get to where they want to be at the end.
Reed's boys basketball team seemed to benefit from some of the success of the football team with several players competing in both sports. Charles hopes that the basketball team's somewhat surprising success of finishing second in the High Desert League will transfer over to baseball as many of his players were on the football or basketball squads or both.
"I try to jump on that bandwagon a little bit and take on that momentum that they've carried," Charles said. "It's a spring sport, so hopefully we can carry on that momentum. I'm really hoping we can. I'm excited about it. Hopefully that winning attitude carries on to our baseball team and we can continue to get better."
Reed opens the annual Mike Bearman Memorial Tournament at 5 p.m. Thursday against Elko. The Raiders will then play at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. Friday versus Douglas and Carson. Saturday will see them match up against Spanish Springs and Fallon at 12:30 p.m. and 3 p.m. respectively. All games will be played at home.
"I'm just excited about them. We had nice little preseason workouts. I think we're a lot farther than we were last year," Charles said. "I think one of the reasons is they got to know me and I got to know them, so that helps. I really like their work ethic so far. They're attitude is really positive."

Rated 4.1 out of 5 by 226 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by kkssnnyy small, but cozy Front and room was very small, but had restaurant in front, very warm and cozy hotel. I stayed in Dec.28 which was snowing outside, very cold, but in room was so warm. need to walk over 5min to metro. 2013/11/09
Rated 5 out of 5 by STARFLEET Very pleased with our stay! OK, so the rooms are on the small side, but there is something at the Four Points Soho that makes a stay here feel like a great SPG guest experience: the warmth of the staff! Everyone was wonderful to interact with, with a friendliness that never seemed practiced. The standout example was Corey at the front desk! He is perhaps the best ambassador of the Starwood brand that I have run into in quite a while...and he went over and above in a way that means that I will always choose S4PSoho over other options in lower Manhattan. Thanks Corey! 2014/01/30
Rated 5 out of 5 by ScottSw21 Awesome location, great staff This hotel is two blocks away from my favorite part of Manhattan - Soho with lots of shops, restaurants, cafes, and bars. The staff here goes out of their way to make you comfortable. This is my new go-to hotel in NYC. 2014/01/12
Rated 5 out of 5 by JDNY Great staff I was treated better here than I have been at the more upscale W and Westin hotels. Really nice staff. Clean comfortable room for a budget hotel and well located in the city. 2013/12/23
Rated 5 out of 5 by studiocity i keep coming back Location is excellent, staff eager to accommodate, friendly, fun. We got an upgrade and the room was wonderful. Great views of NYC in the snow. Thank you. Enjoyed 4pm checkout, too. 2013/12/18
Rated 5 out of 5 by Maestro60 Great location A great place in Soho. It has all you need. 2013/11/29
Rated 5 out of 5 by frillgirl great location and staff loved this hotel - large double room, excellent bed linens, welcoming and accommodating staff! Could not have enjoyed our stay more! We were celebrating a 40th birthday and ELIZABETH sent the birthday girl a bottle of prossecco - such a nice gesture on her behalf! 2013/11/18
Rated 5 out of 5 by klkim small hotel but excellent service and very clean! We typically stay in bigger hotels but decided to try this for the location (wanted to be downtown). What a great deal. The hotel and rooms are small but we were so impressed by the excellent service and clean rooms that we didn't even notice the small size of the hotel. We would definitely stay here again. 2013/11/04

Jets have issues but the roster isn't half bad. The OL is solid, the running game is improved from last year, receivers are healthy and Spadola looks like a nice find, Geno Smith/Mark Sanchez (that is the ugly situation)/. On defense the front 4 are potentially a dominant group. Young guys have stepped up making free agent veteran fill ins expendable - that is a good sign. Young guys stepping up is a good sign for the future. Safety is a question mark, but they are deep at CB. GMs and Owners don't coach the game -- Rex can manage his defense and Marty the offense...this team is being picked to finish last so anything over 5 wins is a good year according to the press.
Raiders are a disaster, Jags are a disaster, Bills are a disaster, Dolphins...how about teams still looking for a playoff win this century???

You may notice a few changes around Beachwood Patch starting next week.
I'm not going anywhere, but after a switcheroo behind the scenes here at Patch, I am getting some help from a coworker.
Brandon Baker, who's worked in journalism for seven years and at Patch for the past several months, will step in as the two of us team up to cover Beachwood, Shaker Heights and Cleveland Heights.
I will still have a heavy hand in Beachwood — I've spent the last two years getting to know the city and building Beachwood Patch from the ground up. Believe me, it would not be easy to leave you guys behind.
But you will see Brandon around here more often, and you might see me more on our neighboring sites.
You can still reach me at the same email address, email@example.com, and Brandon can be found at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Please join me in welcoming Brandon to the Beachwood Patch team!

text: I live in California, and I currently have a (too small) tank gas water heater in the house I've just bought. Gas heating is supposed to be be cheaper than electric heating in California. However, all the tankless gas heaters I've looked at seem to have low user satisfaction, while the Stiebel Eltron Tempra electric has high reviews. Can anyone give advice on whether to go for a gas or electric tankless water heater? Thanks.

Twenty-eight of the 42 events on the 2009/2010 USA Cycling Cyclo-cross National Racing Calendar are now in the books.
Maureen Bruno-Roy (Arlington, Mass.) still leads the women's standings with 214 points. On the men's side, Driscoll and Powers are tied in the number-one spot, each with 324 points.

Multiple World Cup Champion Greg Minnaar crashed over the weekend in a South African motocross event about 45 minutes from his hometown, reports his fan site.
After moving from his starting position in 70th place to the 4th place, Minnaar had just begun the fourth and final lap when he hit a rock, throwing him over the bars. Minnaar broke his collarbone and hurt his leg in the fall.
Greg spoke today from hospital: "I knew it was broken straight away, as soon as I landed. I was about 20km from the main start finish area when it happened and I struggled to ride further round the lap until I came to a marshal point. I left the bike there and got a lift to the hospital. I didn't feel too bad and actually walked into the hospital.
The collarbone break is on the right side, and fortunately his left shoulder which had reconstructive surgery at the end of 2007 was not affected by the crash.
"It's so weird, I was able to walk into the hospital and I have no recollection of hitting my leg in the fall. Strangely, it's exactly the same place where I had deep bruising following my crash at Mont-Sainte-Anne this year, so there may be some connection. [GMFanClub.com]

Intel Hands over Moblin to Linux Foundation
Hardware maker Intel has handed over hosting of the Moblin open source platform to the Linux Foundation with a hoped for larger external participation.
Moblin stands for Mobile Linux, an open source project to develop Linux-based platforms optimized for such devices as netbooks, mobile phones and auto infotainment systems. Intel initiated the project two years ago and is now transferring responsibility to the Linux Foundation. The mobile platform certainly found a perfect match in Intel's processor technology, but had trouble being adopted by many projects and embedded providers, such as Montavista and the LiMo Foundation.
Rammohan Peddibhotla, Open Source Business Director at Intel, described the hosting transfer decision of the project to Linux Magazine Online: "Intel believes that a vendor neutral third-party host, such as the Linux Foundation, will prime Moblin to become the most advanced and open mobile Linux platform. Intel believes that open source projects need to be owned and fostered by the community." Also hoped for is a growth in participating developers. Peddibhotla: "Development of Moblin will continue to be managed as always by the established norms of other open source projects wherein contributions are included based on the technical merit regardless of the origin of the contribution."
The strategic advantage that the free platform has for Intel shows in the list of Linux developers already participating in the project, among them Alan Cox and the former technical head of SUSE, Dirk Hohndel. Peddibhotla feels that this should continue to be the case.
End of January Intel demonstrated Moblin2 with an especially eye-catching netbook startup time. In February Intel then added LG to its partners and founded a development center in Taiwan together with government and industry to accelerate growth opportunities for mobile device makers. Yet another alliance could give the mobile platform additional stimulus: together with BMW, Peugeot, GM, embedded provider Wind River and others, Intel at last month's CeBIT Open Source conference announced the GENEVI infotainment alliance. The next few months should start showing some results in that regard that are at least partly based on Moblin.

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
In a few weeks I will be meeting a lot of old friends and new folks at SQL Saturday #50 in Iowa City. I'll do two presentations: on defensive database programming and on coding for high concurrency.
I really like this whole SQL Saturday thing. For me it is much better to allocate a Saturday for training and networking close to where I live, than to travel and not work for several business days. I would like to thank Steve Jones, Andy Warren, and Brian Knight who got this whole thing up and running.
Recently there was a disturbance in the Force. Quite a few people got really disappointed that Steve Jones was rejected for PASS board. Here is my take at it.
I really appreciate Steve's contributions to the community. I like, attend, and speak at SQL Saturdays. Also I regularly visit sqlserevercentral.com. To show how much I appreciate this great site, I will begin contributing to it - I will be regularly submitting articles to it. I hope they will be accepted and published. I don't have anything else to say on this issue.

The event will feature an array of activities, starting with a parade through the town featuring the Richlands High School Marching Band.
"Farmers Day comes so close to the beginning of the school year that we start getting ready for it during band camp in the summer," said Richlands High Band Director Gregory Shreckengost. "The community here … really supports us. We're always up near the front for the parade and we play in the grandstands for the opening ceremony. It's nice to know the community wants us there."
Opening ceremonies will take place at on the festival's grounds at
"Farmers Day is a long standing tradition in Richlands," said Whitman-Grice. "It's such a wonderful family event.

"One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer—at three in the afternoon."
What might happen if Christians everywhere took a few moments in the 3:00 hour to pray every day?
Acts 4:31, maybe?
"After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly."
In this instance, it seems, one thing just led to another ....
If I set my iPhone's calendar alarm or my watch to remind me, and commit to doing this ... would you join me?
Wherever you are?
Whatever time zone you're in?
Whether you're ready for what might happen or not?

School Spotlight
Whether you're on your way to the library or stopping by City Hall, chances are you're driving by St. John Vianney School, located in the heart of Brookfield. This blog will provide insight into life and education at SJV, a 4K-8 educational anchor in Brookfield since 1957.
Gluesticks? Check. Erasers? Check....Our Summer Series Continues
Lead by former principal Colleen Terry, SJV students and parishioners recently stopped by the SHARE Warehouse in Butler to help the St. Vincent De Paul Back to School Drive . They sorted and packaged school supplies for children in need for the coming fall! Our parishioners helped package the FOUR THOUSAND school supply packets that will be distributed around the city! Soon to be eighth grader Nate Leitermann said about volunteering, "I thought this would be a lot of hard work but it really wasn't and I had so much fun!"
Farmers Market Service Project
Four of SJV's very own 8th graders, Elizabeth Capper, Casey Crooks, Kaitlin Hohl, and Mary Newby, inspired by an annual assignment from Mrs. Schmitt's Social Studies class unit on Social Justice, have coordinated a small fundraiser over at Brookfield Farmers Market. This fundraiser, to be held this Saturday (August 9th) and next Saturday (August 16th), will benefit the people of West Allis and Waukesha . They will be using the money they raise at the Farmer's Market to buy batteries for the Waukesha and West Allis fire departments. These fire departments will be giving away batteries to people in need for use in their own home smoke detectors.
Just another example of our school's efforts to guide our children about social justice, encouraging them to think about what they can do for their community. The Social Studies assignment was to come up with an action plan of helping a person or a group of people. Many of the student plans included garage sales, outdoor movie nights, and food drives. If our eighth graders actually execute their plans, they will receive extra credit in their 8th grade Social Studies classes - not to mention helping people their community!
The Calm Before the SJV Festival Storm
All this talk of flash floods and heavy rain over the weekend got me thinking about the last time we experienced extreme weather -- the Saturday afternoon of the SJV Festival. Here are some pictures from the fest BEFORE the crazy weather broke in:

Thanks for visiting the Orchid Conservation Coalition.
The Orchid Conservation Coalition (OCC) is a grassroots organization made up of people, orchid societies, and orchid businesses dedicated to raising awareness and money for orchid conservation. It is through networking that people and organizations concerned with orchid conservation can be the most effective. The exchange of information among participants and non-profit orchid conservation organizations will make conservation a real aspect of orchid growing for the average orchid grower and orchid society. They can actively engage in and contribute to orchid conservation.
1% for Orchid Conservation (1%FOC)- Orchid Societies and businesses that participate in 1% FOC commit to budget 1% or more of their net revenue towards in situ orchid conservation projects of their choice. Through 1% for Orchid Conservation we want to create a network of orchid societies and businesses to raise money for in situ orchid conservation. The Orchid Conservation Coalition does not take donations or distribute money.

In addition to Galileo, Eaton is introducing six new XV models.
"Eaton is committed to providing lean automation solutions that help OEMs reduce costs and streamline operations," said Raul Guerrero, product manager at Eaton. "Galileo helps global machine builders develop complex applications across industries to reduce costs and improve efficiencies."
As part of a broad range of Eaton solutions for global OEMs, Galileo software provides project design tools and functionality without graduated restrictions on tags and screens. The software features data bridge functionality and multiple programmable logic controller (PLC) communication driver support.
The user-friendly project design environment incorporates project simulation on the development computer.

Certificate of Need (CON) Program Overview
Jeff Gregg, Director
Florida Center for Health Information and Policy Analysis
(850) 412-3730
James McLemore, Supervisor
Certificate of Need Unit
(850) 412-4401
Media Relations Contact for Reporters:
Reporters are asked to contact the Agency's Media Relations Unit for information on CON applications, decisions, or any other Certificate of Need related issue at 850-412-3623.
The Certificate of Need (CON) program is a regulatory process that requires certain health care providers to obtain state approval before offering certain new or expanded services. For example, a Certificate of Need would be required if a hospital wishes to establish a comprehensive medical rehabilitation program.
The CON process is intended to help ensure that new services proposed by health care providers are needed for quality patient care within a particular region or community.
The program prevents unnecessary duplication of services by selecting the best proposal among competing applicants who wish to provide a particular health service. CON in Florida regulates hospice, skilled nursing, intermediate care for the developmentally disabled, the development of new hospitals and certain hospital services. It does not regulate outpatient services, home health services or the purchase of major medical equipment.
When a CON is Required
Making Application
CON Review Process
CON Monitoring Process
CON rule updates and notices are posted on this website at the Proposed Rules/Rule Workshops link.
In 2001, the Florida legislature placed a moratorium on the issuance of certificates of need for additional community nursing home beds until July 1, 2006. In 2006, the legislature extended the moratorium until July 1, 2011. This action was taken because the legislature found that the continued growth in the Medicaid budget for nursing home care constrained the ability of the state to meet the needs of its elderly residents through the use of less restrictive and less institutional methods of long-term care. In 2011, the Florida legislature placed a moratorium on the issuance of certificates of need for additional community nursing home beds until Medicaid managed care is implemented statewide or October 1, 2016, whichever is earlier.

Sterling silver, also called fine silver, is a beautifully lustrous cool-toned precious metal favored in fine jewelry among other products. The most reflective of all metals (excluding mercury), sterling silver looks stunning by itself and brings out the best hues in an array of colorful gemstones.
Sterling silver can be polished to a higher sheen than platinum. In fact, Ag, the chemical symbol for silver, comes from a word that means "white and shining." The surface of silver can boast that shiny, polished appearance, or can be brushed, satin, matte, sandblasted, antiqued or oxidized (chemically blackened).
In order to be called sterling silver, a metal must be made up of a minimum of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy (meaning other metals), including but not limited to copper and nickel. The alloy is added to pure silver to make the metal more durable, tougher and harder. Sterling silver is designated a fineness of "925." Pieces with sterling silver may be marked "sterling."
Finishes on Sterling Silver
Finishing, or plating, is a common treatment with sterling silver. Popular types of plating are rhodium plating, gold plating and anti-tarnish plating. Plating is used to extend the life and sheen of the jewelry. After sizing or buffing a piece of jewelry with a machine, it must be re-plated to restore the finish.
Caring for Sterling Silver
Sterling silver becomes tarnished as the result of a natural chemical process that occurs when sterling silver is exposed to chemicals in the air, rubber, wool and latex. Humidity also plays a role in accelerating tarnishing. It's easy to keep your sterling silver sparkling, though, by taking a few steps to prevent tarnish and other wear and tear.
Marcasite, a name derived from the Arabic word for pyrite, is the term applied to small polished and faceted stones inlayed in sterling silver. Their color is usually described is being pale bronze, looking rather gray with a greenish tint. A multi-colored tarnish may exist as a result of oxidation. With a metallic luster and opaque crystals, marcasite ranks 6.0-6.5 on the Mohs Scale. Occurrences are worldwide, especially in the United States, Mexico, France, Peru, China and Russia.

Campbell >Bars & Clubs > Cardiff Lounge
260 East Campbell Ave, Campbell, CA | Directions 9500837.286947 -121.945376
Mon - Fri, 3pm - 2am; Sat, 6:30pm - 2am; Sun, 8pm - 2am
Best House Music in Town! – Cardiff is by far the best bar/lounge in town to hear the best house music. If you want a great night of fun, dancing with a good looking mixed crowed, then Cardiff is your place! I have been going to Cardiff for over 5 years now and it keeps getting better! I always feel welcome and have a blast whether I am wth friends, co-workers, etc. Check it out - I'm sure you will get hooked too!
Great House Music – I love Cardiff!!!! It is the only place left in San Jose
that places cool House Music!!! If you want to listen
to the sh_t that the music industry is telling to
on the weekends then go somewhere else!!!!
Yes it used to be a "Dive Bar" that is the whole point!!!
As far as the Bathrooms and club being dirty not true!! I have yet to be at a club so busy that was spotless!!!
Stiff drinks – A good place for a good stiff drink. No frills, just good stiff drinks. A great place to go just to have a drink, talk with friends, and not have to impress everyone around you.
a dive – HOUSE music drones on, the dance area is small,crowded and usually very soaked with alcohol. The bathrooms are usually unusable,filthy and disgusting, a Dive with tweeker scene undertones.. maybe overtones......No not so much. Katie Blooms is a better choice in Campbell or Kartooms(sp) or even the Kingshead or sonoma chicken coop keeping it casual. Boswells in the prune yard for the rockers,pop or disco crowd is OK too.
Cardiff worst Campbell bar ever – I was there this past saturday night and a fight broke out. The lack of security was appalling, People got hurt that had nothing to do with the fight. The place needs more bouncers that actually know how to kick people out and not let the place get so outta hand..
Fun place – This was a fun place. Had a great neighborhood vibe. Drinks were resonably priced. Not pretensionous!
Hidden Gem.... – If you want to escape the chaos and monotony of the downtown san jose scene; cruise over to Campbell for tasty cocktails poured by their beautiful bartenders and sit back and enjoy the eye candy. It's a small intimate venue w/ soulful house rockin' all nite long. You can either get your grove on shakin' your bootay near the hanging dj booth or cuddle up w/ your honey and people watch on the chase lounges and velvet booths in the back.
Dance Baby Dance – This club is awesome. I remember when it was a hole in the wall and dingy. I love their new decore, and the music is awesome.
A great place to have a shot in the dark. – In Short
In an increasingly trendy town, this decidedly untrendy bar exists on a highly trafficked street--enough to make dive-bar fans jump for joy. Locals come here to sip Buds and a shot, or down powerful mixed drinks.
